It is not possible to modify the password through the Update User API using the RESTMan interface:-
PUT HTTPS://<gatewayHostname>:8443/restman/1.0/users/{userID}
However a separate API can be called to modify the password. First off we need to obtain the internal ID the user we wish to change by calling:-
GET HTTPS://<gatewayHostname>:8443/restman/1.0/users
This will return:-

In this case I aim to change the password of user test, which has an internal id of dad3a53837d7dffa8a6441bf05a01465. Thus we can update the password by calling:-
PUT HTTPS://<gatewayHostname>:8443/restman/1.0/users/dad3a53837d7dffa8a6441bf05a01465/password
The body needs a media type of applciation/xml, however no XML is needed, the body should just contain the password. If successful this will return XML listing the user details. See my SoapUI request for details:-
